What is Twitter?
Microblogging is the primary form of communication on the social networking site Twitter. Users can interact with their followers and distribute information by sending brief messages of no more than 140 characters. Since its beginnings, Twitter has expanded and developed into a huge platform utilized by both mainstream media and regular people to discuss significant problems, unrelated topics, or just what they’re doing at any given moment. It enables microblogging or the act of blogging in brief spurts.
In order to assist individuals to stay informed about what their friends were doing, or as a user status service, Jack Dorsey founded Twitter. The Twitter crew first thought of the moniker “Twitch” for the service. Later, it changed into “tweet,” which, according to the Oxford dictionary, truly means “to talk quickly in a nervous or frivolous fashion.”
How Does Twitter Work?
You may write brief postings on Twitter on anything, but they can only be 140 characters long—the same length as one SMS message. Tweets are these brief postings that show up in reverse chronological order on your Twitter profile page and are named after the sound of birds chirping. You have the option to follow people on Twitter in order to receive their most recent tweets in your Twitter feed in addition to posting yourself. On the other hand, if someone follows you, they receive all of your tweets in their feeds. It goes without saying that your potential audience will grow as you gain more followers.
